Financial Technology Experimental Permit Instructions

The Capital Market Authority of Saudi Arabia establishes a regulatory framework for the FinTech Experimental Permit to enable companies and individuals to test innovative securities products within a controlled environment. Applicants must demonstrate adequate financial resources, fit-and-proper status, and clear risk mitigation strategies to qualify for the permit and participate in the designated FinTech Lab. Upon approval, permitted entities operate under customized regulatory conditions for up to two years, subject to ongoing reporting, client protection safeguards, and a mandatory exit strategy or scaled market deployment upon completion.
